Reading for September 11th

 Read Exodus 30.1-31.11. In 30.1-31.11: The Lord gives instructions for other matters related to the priests and the worship sanctuary. In 30.10: Once a year would be the day of Atonement as specified in greater detail in Lev 16. In verses 11-13: The act of taking a census or counting the people for military or administrative purposes was believed to arouse the deity's anger, there by bringing on a plague (2 Sam 24.10). Thus each person had to pay a ransom or fee of half shekel in order to ward off the plague. Numbers 1.17-47records the first census taken of the Israelites in the wilderness In 31.2-6: The divine spirit (v. 3) fills the two skilled workers, Bezalel (v. 2) and Oholiab (v. 6), with ability, intelligence, and knowledge in their particular skills of artistry and construction.
